Slack Sunderland slump to new low
Steve Bruce, who used the occasion to check out fringe players Cotterill, Salomon Olembe and Josip Skoko, was rewarded by each of them, as his side enjoyed a more comfortable time than they could ever have anticipated at the home of another Premier League club. The Wigan manager said that a crowd of just 20,821 might have added to their hosts’ lethargy. "I never thought I would see half-empty grounds for the FA Cup," said Bruce. "It costs an awful lot to watch Premier League football now, and a lot of people just can’t afford to pay again after Christmas. "The third round used to be fantastic, but I don’t think we can ever get that back. It’s not until you get to the later rounds that it has that spark we used to enjoy." .
Anthony a leader in All-Star voting
With all due respect to NBA commissioner David Stern, Carmelo Anthony prefers to be a man of the people. Stern sent Anthony to the 2007 NBA All-Star Game as an injury replacement, but the Nuggets forward probably won't need an assist from the commish in 2008. Anthony leads all Western Conference forwards in early fans' balloting, putting him in line to become the first Nuggets player to start an All-Star Game in 19 years. "That's a big step," Anthony said after the first round of vote totals were released Thursday. "To go from not even making it to being brung in by David Stern to being voted in by the fans, it's a big step . . . We've got two more months." Anthony, averaging 25 points, 5.5 rebounds and four assists, enjoys a comfortable cushion in his bid to be one of two starting forwards for the West in New Orleans on Feb.
